Advice

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KW14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
