Sink repair near Eaton

How we handle sink repair in Eaton

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. 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.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book

Eaton: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Herefordshire?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Eaton. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Eaton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
