About our sink repair in Freiston

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we are called out for in Freiston

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Choosing a repair company

Freiston questions

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How much does sink repair cost in Freiston?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

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

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Freiston, 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in Freiston

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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