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 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 polish the repair to suit.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on. In a village or hamlet like Golden Cross, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Golden Cross

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Older homes around Golden Cross may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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