About our sink repair in Mollington

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with a crazed, tired basin and a period basin that needs restoring, we can normally put it right.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

What affects the price in Mollington

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Mollington

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Mollington

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

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

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mollington

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
