How we handle sink repair in Countesthorpe

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Countesthorpe
- Vanity unit basins

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
When to call us in Countesthorpe
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Clients usually contact us about:
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crazed, tired basin
Comparing quotes
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
