We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How we handle sink repair in Harston

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and crazing in the glaze, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
