Sink repair for Patchway homes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Patchway: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you cover the entire of South Gloucestershire?

Everywhere in the UK, Patchway included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Honest limits

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

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Materials we work on in Patchway

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Landlord and trade work in Patchway

For anyone letting property in or around Patchway, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
