Trusted sink repair in Gadshill

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle sink repair in Gadshill

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairs by material

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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What we are called out for in Gadshill

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairing versus replacing in Gadshill

A basin is generally 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
