Sink repair for Ham homes

Sink repair in Ham without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What affects the price in Ham

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Ham

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
