From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Meresborough and across Medway.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Signs you need sink repair in Meresborough

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Meresborough: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Meresborough. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Meresborough. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Meresborough?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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