Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not overtighten taps

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

What affects the price in Paslow Wood Common

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use. Somewhere as small as Paslow Wood Common, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the sink repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
