Sink repair in Hockering

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Sink repair in Hockering, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Hockering

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Hockering

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hockering

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hockering use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
