Sink repair for Eaton homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle sink repair in Eaton

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Eaton as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

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

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • 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 to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Eaton: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Eaton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Eaton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

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

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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