Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Do you need sink repair in Chilworth Old Village?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Chilworth Old Village: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much does sink repair cost in Chilworth Old Village?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilworth Old Village

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chilworth Old Village as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
