Sink repair in Burnt Hill without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
