Book sink repair in Little Canada

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our sink repair in Little Canada

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and a crazed, tired basin, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Canada. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Canada

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, 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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

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

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

FAQs for Little Canada

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are there extra charges for Little Canada?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Little Canada. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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