Choosing a repair company

How we handle sink repair in Oulton

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and chips from dropped toiletries.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Oulton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
