How we handle sink repair in Mattersey

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are often asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips from dropped toiletries, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

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

Repair or replace in Mattersey?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
