How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Do you need sink repair in Emmbrook?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
