Sink repair in Hotham

Sink repair in Hotham without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and a crazed, tired basin, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hotham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about sink repair in Hotham

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

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.

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 hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
