Sink repair in Metton

Sink repair in Metton, done in place

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and chips on the rim or front edge.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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

FAQs for Metton

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Metton?

We do. Technicians travel to Metton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

We cover the entire UK, including Metton and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
