Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we’re called out for in Coltishall

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips around the rim
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Choosing a repair company

What sink repair costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
