How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Sink repair in Old Perton without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and knocks from hair straighteners, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

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 carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

Old Perton questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
