Sink repair for Hursley homes

Sink repair in Hursley, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and an antique basin with chips.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hursley and across Hampshire.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hursley. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Your questions about sink repair in Hursley

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you come to Hursley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hursley. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Hursley?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What we’re called out for in Hursley

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
