Sink repair in Buckland Monachorum

How we handle sink repair in Buckland Monachorum

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

What we work on

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