Sink repair near Haywood

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

About our sink repair in Haywood

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Haywood. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire basin

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Haywood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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.
