Your questions about sink repair in Glentham
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Landlords, agents and businesses in Glentham
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Glentham
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Glentham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
