Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common problems we fix in East Harting

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in East Harting

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about sink repair in East Harting

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How much does sink repair cost in East Harting?

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

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes East Harting. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
