Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Sink repair at your home in Oakgrove

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and knocks from hair straighteners, we can typically put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Oakgrove as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

For landlords and businesses

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakgrove as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Repairing versus replacing in Oakgrove

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Oakgrove: your questions answered

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.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
