Sink repair near Etton

Sink repair in Etton without replacing anything

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

FAQs for Etton

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover Etton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Etton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Etton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Etton

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Etton

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Etton. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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 pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Most clients in Etton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
