Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Do you need sink repair in Fobbing?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
Before booking anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
