Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Broad Town. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SN4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips around the rim

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
