Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Sink repair in Hatherton, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Do you need sink repair in Hatherton?

Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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 chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
