Sink repair near Pitmans Corner

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Sink repair at your home in Pitmans Corner

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for a chipped vanity basin and fine cracks across the glaze, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

Pitmans Corner: your questions answered

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP14 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

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

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

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
