Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Sink repair in Pinhoe without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?

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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our pricing.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Pinhoe. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pinhoe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Pinhoe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Pinhoe

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A crazed, tired basin

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

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. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
