Sink repair in Maythorne, 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. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about sink repair in Maythorne

Are there extra charges for Maythorne?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Landlords, agents and businesses in Maythorne

If you manage property in Maythorne, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
