Sink repair for Meppershall homes

How to care for the repair

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

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Sink repair in Meppershall, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Meppershall: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work in Meppershall?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Meppershall. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Central Bedfordshire.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Central Bedfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Materials we work on in Meppershall

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
