Sink repair in Hemswell

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Sink repair at your home in Hemswell

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and a chipped basin edge.

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

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hemswell

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hemswell as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common problems we fix in Hemswell

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hemswell. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
