How we handle sink repair in Fenton

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include an antique basin with chips and a chipped basin edge, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

FAQs for Fenton

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you come to Fenton?

We do. We send a technician to Fenton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Fenton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repair or replace in Fenton?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fenton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we’re called out for in Fenton

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

What we work on

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

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
