Sink repair near Churcham

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

About our sink repair in Churcham

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with a chipped vanity basin and a chipped basin edge, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Your questions about sink repair in Churcham

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Churcham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

What we work on

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Churcham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
