About our sink repair in Orchard Park

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Orchard Park, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace in Orchard Park?

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
