About our sink repair in Oldbury-on-Severn

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped vanity basin and a crack near the taps.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Oldbury-on-Severn. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow 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. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original 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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Do you need sink repair in Oldbury-on-Severn?

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Oldbury-on-Severn

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking

Take a look at our pricing.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
