How we handle sink repair in Law

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix an original basin worth saving and crazing in the glaze, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, 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, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Law

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about sink repair in Law

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Law?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Law. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
