About our sink repair in Long Hanborough

We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Long Hanborough. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently 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.

Do you need sink repair in Long Hanborough?

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
