Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for North Muskham

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in North Muskham

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price
