Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Do you need sink repair in Denford?

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Denford: your questions answered

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How do I book?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Denford. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Denford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
