Sink repair in Colton, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and knocks from hair straighteners, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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