Questions from Cirencester

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What your basin is made of matters

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.

What affects the price in Cirencester

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cirencester. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cirencester. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
