Sink repair in Lunsford's Cross

Sink repair in Lunsford's Cross without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Lunsford's Cross

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Are there extra charges for Lunsford's Cross?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you need sink repair in Lunsford's Cross?

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Crazing in the glaze

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Lunsford's Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lunsford's Cross as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN39 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
