Sink repair in Overton without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for crazing in the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Overton and across Cheshire West and Chester.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Overton

For anyone letting property in or around Overton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire West and Chester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
