Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Mere Heath

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

How we price sink repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire basin

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mere Heath use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Mere Heath: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Mere Heath.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
