Sink repair in Perham Down, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

FAQs for Perham Down

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What affects the price in Perham Down

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Perham Down get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

What we are called out for in Perham Down

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
