Sink repair in Henbury without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and knocks from hair straighteners.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What we’re called out for in Henbury

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in Henbury

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
