Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Sink repair in Landkey, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and an original basin worth saving, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

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

FAQs for Landkey

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you do not 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Landkey

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
