Sink repair in Chelworth without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chelworth

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  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

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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.

When to call us in Chelworth

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Your questions about sink repair in Chelworth

Do you cover Chelworth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Chelworth and the rest of Wiltshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Chelworth?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
