How we handle sink repair in Little Bromley

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped vanity basin and fine cracks across the glaze.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

10 questions to ask before booking

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Little Bromley. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Little Bromley

  • Enamelled basins

  • Antique & period basins

  • Vanity unit basins

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes 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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
