How we handle sink repair in Odd Down

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Materials we work on in Odd Down

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

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.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Odd Down, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bath and North East Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
