About our sink repair in Grazeley

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Grazeley

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Grazeley included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When to call us in Grazeley

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

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