Sink repair for Camperdown homes

Sink repair at your home in Camperdown

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about a crazed, tired basin and cracks starting at the waste.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Camperdown questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Camperdown. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

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. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

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