When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Advice

Good Easter: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Good Easter included. Travel is included in the price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you need sink repair in Good Easter?

Choosing a repair company

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Good Easter get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
