Book sink repair in Gosport

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Sink repair in Gosport, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and chips around the rim, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gosport

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we are called out for in Gosport

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Common reasons people in Gosport contact us are:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
