Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlord and trade work in Garway

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

Do you need sink repair in Garway?

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Questions from Garway

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HR2 postcode.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
