The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Advice

Questions from Park Gate

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Park Gate?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Park Gate. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Park Gate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

What sink repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
