Book sink repair in Hilmarton

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Sink repair at your home in Hilmarton

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hilmarton and across Wiltshire.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Hilmarton

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Hilmarton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Hilmarton. Prices do not change with location.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
