Sink repair in Linkhill without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix an antique basin with chips and chips on the rim or front edge, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Linkhill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Linkhill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Linkhill

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

FAQs for Linkhill

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Do you work in Linkhill?

We do. We send a technician to Linkhill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
