What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Common problems we fix in Canford Heath

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Repair or replace in Canford Heath?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Canford Heath. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
