Your questions about sink repair in Hutton Buscel

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hutton Buscel. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

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

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
