Sink repair in East Cowes

Repairs by material

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.

Sink repair in East Cowes, done in place

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, in ceramic, composite and enamel. Taps and wastes stay connected. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and a chipped vanity basin.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in East Cowes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

East Cowes questions

Can landlords book you?

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

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Will you remove the sink?

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

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
