Sink repair for Milton homes

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our full price list.

How we handle sink repair in Milton

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Milton. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not overtighten taps

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy 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.
