Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Ellingham?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place

See our full price list.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Ellingham questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ellingham.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

What we work on

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ellingham. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH24 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
