Capel: your questions answered
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SA15 postcode.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Signs you need sink repair in Capel
