Sink repair in Heston, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Repairing versus replacing in Heston

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When to call us in Heston

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A crazed, tired basin

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Heston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Heston

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
