Sink repair for Gunthorpe homes

For landlords and businesses

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Sink repair in Gunthorpe, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and chips around the rim.

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.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

We clean the basin and check the damage.
We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
We polish the repair to blend it in.
You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ensure the room can be ventilated
Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Do DIY bath repair kits work?

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

One visit for most repairs
A year’s guarantee on all work
One price list for the entire UK
We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

Keep straighteners away from the basin
Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
