Sink repair in Hogben's Hill without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace in Hogben's Hill?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Hogben's Hill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we’re called out for in Hogben's Hill

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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