What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Sink repair at your home in Monk's Gate

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with an antique basin with chips and a chipped basin edge, we can help, whatever the material.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Monk's Gate questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

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

How soon can you come?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens next?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
