How we handle sink repair in Castle Eaton

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to compare quotes

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Castle Eaton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Castle Eaton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Common questions in Castle Eaton

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
