Sink repair in Lansdown

About our sink repair in Lansdown

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and an antique basin with chips.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lansdown

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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.

Signs you need sink repair in Lansdown

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Lansdown

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lansdown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

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

Lansdown questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
