Sink repair in East Ord

Sink repair in East Ord, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
