Sink repair near Moreton

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

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

Sink repair at your home in Moreton

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Moreton. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Moreton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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