About our sink repair in Hatch

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are crazing in the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Common problems we fix in Hatch

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Your questions about sink repair in Hatch

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Central Bedfordshire.

Do I need to be at home?
