How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Curridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Curridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Your questions about sink repair in Curridge

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
