Sink repair near Claydon

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our sink repair in Claydon

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to compare quotes

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

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.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Claydon use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Claydon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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