What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

For a price in Hapsford, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Hapsford questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hapsford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
