Sink repair in Croughton

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

Sink repair in Croughton without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and a crazed, tired basin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Croughton

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Croughton

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Croughton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Croughton?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Common problems we fix in Croughton

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

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

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Croughton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
