Sink repair in Brome Street

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Sink repair in Brome Street without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
