Sink repair at your home in Fromes Hill

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Fromes Hill?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
