About our sink repair in Norton

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and a chipped vanity basin.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Norton. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Norton

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairing versus replacing in Norton

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
