Trusted sink repair in Hooke

Sink repair in Hooke without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Hooke questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Hooke

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairs by material

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.

Vitreous china

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

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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.
