The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

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

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Horsington Marsh

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you accredited?

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

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Horsington Marsh?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Horsington Marsh for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Materials we work on in Horsington Marsh

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
