Sink repair near Locking

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Sink repair at your home in Locking

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a crack near the taps and a chipped vanity basin.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Locking as everywhere else we work.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlords, agents and businesses in Locking

For anyone letting property in or around Locking, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Locking as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Locking

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
