Sink repair at your home in Linton Heath

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin, we can usually put it right.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Landlord and trade work in Linton Heath

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Repairing versus replacing in Linton Heath

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
