What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Your questions about sink repair in Buckworth

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover Buckworth?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Buckworth and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Buckworth is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our prices page.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Buckworth

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

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

What affects the price in Buckworth

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
