Sink repair near Covingham

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Sink repair in Covingham without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving, we can usually put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Covingham

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you cover the entire of Swindon?

We cover the whole UK, including Covingham and the rest of Swindon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover Covingham?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Covingham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

What affects the price in Covingham

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Covingham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Covingham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

What we’re called out for in Covingham

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Get a quote

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 you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
