Sink repair at your home in Imeraval
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Questions from Imeraval
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Imeraval
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Imeraval get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Imeraval, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
