How we handle sink repair in Hampton Bishop

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re often asked to fix an original basin worth saving and crazing in the glaze, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Hampton Bishop

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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
