Sink repair near Easton

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle sink repair in Easton

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Easton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

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 usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Easton

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Easton clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before you book

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Questions from Easton

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover Easton?

We do. We send a technician to Easton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Easton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
