From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and chips on a built-in basin.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Llanwrda. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
