Trusted sink repair in Pitland Street

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pitland Street. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
