Sink repair in Eaton, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Eaton

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is it messy?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

What areas do you cover?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What we’re called out for in Eaton

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
