Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Hareshaw

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips around the rim

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common questions in Hareshaw

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Hareshaw

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

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.
