Sink repair in Firsby

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

Sink repair in Firsby, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

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 polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
