How we handle sink repair in Lye Hole

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and cracks starting at the waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

If you are in Lye Hole and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

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

Do you need sink repair in Lye Hole?

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Look out for these signs:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price
