Sink repair in Flore without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and an antique basin with chips, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Flore

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Flore included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

For landlords and businesses

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

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not overtighten taps

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Flore. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
