About our sink repair in Monton

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Monton. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Monton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Monton clients choose us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
