Book sink repair in Laverton

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Sink repair in Laverton without replacing anything

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. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and chips around the rim, we can normally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Laverton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Laverton?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site

Take a look at our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we work on in Laverton

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When to call us in Laverton

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
