Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Do you need sink repair in Burton Salmon?

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Burton Salmon, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Your questions about sink repair in Burton Salmon

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LS25 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Burton Salmon. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
