How we handle sink repair in Mill End

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are often asked to fix chips around the rim and chips from dropped toiletries, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Mill End questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What affects the price in Mill End

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Mill End get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Mill End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mill End as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Mill End customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
