About our sink repair in Heydon

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Heydon as everywhere else we work.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Heydon. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

When to call us in Heydon

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Heydon: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Repairing versus replacing in Heydon

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Heydon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
