About our sink repair in Moriah

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about sink repair in Moriah

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Moriah?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Moriah. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
