How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners

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

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

Sink repair in Marksbury, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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