Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

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

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Questions from Maltby le Marsh

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Maltby le Marsh?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do I have to be there?

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

Are there extra charges for Maltby le Marsh?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens on the day

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 by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
