About our sink repair in Draughton

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a crazed, tired basin and a period basin that needs restoring.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need sink repair in Draughton

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped vanity basin

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Draughton questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

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

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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 give it the full curing time. If it does not 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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What sink repair costs

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
