About our sink repair in Hewish

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin.

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

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Hewish

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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 pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hewish. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Hewish

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
