How we handle sink repair in Fontwell

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

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

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

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

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
