Sink repair for Great Totham homes

Sink repair in Great Totham without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and chips around the rim.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Great Totham

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
