Trusted sink repair in Mordon

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

About our sink repair in Mordon

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and a crazed, tired basin, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Common problems we fix in Mordon

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An original basin worth saving

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Honest limits

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

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.
