Need sink repair in Ibsley?

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Sink repair at your home in Ibsley

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 vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about chips on a built-in basin and an original basin worth saving.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ibsley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Ibsley

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Ibsley?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
