Trusted sink repair in Evenlode

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How we handle sink repair in Evenlode

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Evenlode as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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.

Evenlode questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you need sink repair in Evenlode?

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

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 generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
