Trusted sink repair in Minsted

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Sink repair at your home in Minsted

We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Minsted

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Minsted as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Minsted: your questions answered

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Minsted?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

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, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
