Sink repair in Pixey Green, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s a chipped vanity basin and fine cracks across the glaze, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When to call us in Pixey Green

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Choosing a repair company

Pixey Green: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work in Pixey Green?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pixey Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Pixey Green is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What do you need from me?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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

Materials we work on in Pixey Green

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
