Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Questions from Glinton

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

How much does sink repair cost in Glinton?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What affects the price in Glinton

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common problems we fix in Glinton

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
