When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Lillingstone Lovell

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Buckinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What affects the price in Lillingstone Lovell

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

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Lillingstone Lovell, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

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.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Buckinghamshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, 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 tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
