Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

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

Surfaces we repair

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When to call us in Lower Willingdon

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

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