Trusted sink repair in Edwalton

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

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

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Edwalton

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Common problems we fix in Edwalton

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge
