Looking after it afterwards

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

Have new chips repaired quickly
Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use a heat mat for hair tools
Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

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

About our sink repair in Green Hammerton

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about chips on a built-in basin and a period basin that needs restoring.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Questions from Green Hammerton

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Green Hammerton. Prices do not change with location.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
We degrease and key the damage.
We build up the filler and sand it flush.
Colour and gloss are matched.
We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Make sure the area is dry

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Green Hammerton. What changes the price is:

Doing more than one item at once
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
How hard the colour is to match
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

Natural light rather than flash
Any earlier repairs or coatings
Any details about the material
Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Green Hammerton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
