Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

When to call us in Chilton

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Chilton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Chilton?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
