Sink repair in Emscote

Sink repair at your home in Emscote

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for a crazed, tired basin and a chipped basin edge, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Common problems we fix in Emscote

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common questions in Emscote

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you come to Emscote?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Emscote and the rest of Warwickshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does sink repair cost?

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
