How we handle sink repair in Charndon

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Charndon

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover Charndon?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Charndon and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will you remove the sink?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charndon use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Charndon. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Charndon

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.
