Sink repair in Great Ponton

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairing versus replacing in Great Ponton

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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