How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How we handle sink repair in Exley Head

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Exley Head

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Bradford. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Common problems we fix in Exley Head

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crazed, tired basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
