About our sink repair in Loves Green

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Loves Green: your questions answered

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.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

Across the UK, so Loves Green is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

For landlords and businesses

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Loves Green customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
