Sink repair for Hampsthwaite homes

Sink repair in Hampsthwaite without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hampsthwaite

For anyone letting property in or around Hampsthwaite, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
