Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not overtighten taps

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

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.

New Edlington questions

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, New Edlington included. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How we price sink repair

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

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in New Edlington

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
