How we handle sink repair in Old Passage

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Gloucestershire.

What affects the price in Old Passage

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

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

Repair or replace in Old Passage?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Your questions about sink repair in Old Passage

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you cover Old Passage?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Old Passage and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Signs you need sink repair in Old Passage
