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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in East Guldeford

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to East Guldeford. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not overtighten taps

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
