Sink repair in Malmesbury

Sink repair in Malmesbury, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Malmesbury as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SN16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Questions from Malmesbury

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Malmesbury?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our pricing.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
