Sink repair in Gamesley, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Gamesley

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Gamesley, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
