Sink repair in Holywell, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Holywell questions

Do you work in Holywell?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Holywell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens next?

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

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Holywell and the rest of Central Bedfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Holywell

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t overtighten taps

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
