What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

FAQs for Old Bishton

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Do you come to Old Bishton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Old Bishton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace in Old Bishton?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Common problems we fix in Old Bishton

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge
