How we handle sink repair in Hougham

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and a chipped vanity basin, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.

What affects the price in Hougham

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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 we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
