How we handle sink repair in Chartway Street

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and a chipped basin edge, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chartway Street and across Kent.

What we are called out for in Chartway Street

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Chartway Street

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Chartway Street

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Chartway Street

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
