About our sink repair in Hill Grove

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Questions from Hill Grove

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Hill Grove is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hill Grove

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. 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 are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
