Sink repair at your home in Madresfield

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and a period basin that needs restoring.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Madresfield

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Herefordshire.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

Common problems we fix in Madresfield

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Madresfield. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
