Sink repair near Owston Ferry

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

About our sink repair in Owston Ferry

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, 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. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

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

What sink repair costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DN9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
