What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Edgehead. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing

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

Materials we work on in Edgehead

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

When to call us in Edgehead

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Your questions about sink repair in Edgehead

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
