Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Landlord and trade work in Farndish

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we are called out for in Farndish

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Common questions in Farndish

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is it messy?

Can you repair a cracked basin?
