How we handle sink repair in Fortuneswell

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fortuneswell as everywhere else we work.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Fortuneswell, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Fortuneswell

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
