Sink repair in Garden Village, done in place

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. We’re often asked to fix an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Garden Village. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

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

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Do you need sink repair in Garden Village?

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped basin edge
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crack near the taps

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure

Questions from Garden Village

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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