Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

About our sink repair in Gunton

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with chips on a built-in basin and a period basin that needs restoring, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Gunton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Gunton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Gunton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Gunton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Gunton?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
