Trusted sink repair in Hopeman

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

About our sink repair in Hopeman

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. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and cracks starting at the waste, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early

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

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

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Hopeman

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IV30 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
