What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Questions from Hale End

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Are there extra charges for Hale End?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What we’re called out for in Hale End

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.
