Sink repair near Draycott

Sink repair in Draycott, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We are often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Draycott customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How to compare quotes

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Draycott: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you restore period basins?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
