How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Do you need sink repair in Colwich?

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again

Questions from Colwich

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.
