Sink repair near Easton

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

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 at your home in Easton

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and a crack near the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

What we can’t put right

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

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Easton

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
