Sink repair in Havant without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Havant as everywhere else we work.

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about sink repair in Havant

Do you cover Havant?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Havant and the rest of Hampshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
