When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, 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 anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Questions from Long Meadowend

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Long Meadowend included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Long Meadowend

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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