Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Sink repair in Ditton, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Ditton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ditton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Ditton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should you replace it?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ditton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Ditton: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
