Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Hollins Green

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What sink repair costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Hollins Green: your questions answered

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
