Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

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

Ganton: your questions answered

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ganton. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price 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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Ganton, 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common problems we fix in Ganton

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day

  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
