Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Materials we work on in Deenethorpe

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

What we are called out for in Deenethorpe

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

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Deenethorpe: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
