Sink repair in Harnhill, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Harnhill

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Harnhill, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common questions in Harnhill

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we are called out for in Harnhill

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
