Different materials, different repairs

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Larling. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Larling

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for 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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Larling

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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