Sink repair at your home in Holly Green

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Questions from Holly Green

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Do you cover Holly Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Holly Green. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What affects the price in Holly Green

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Holly Green get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking

  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
