Trusted sink repair in Plantation

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, 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. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your G51 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Plantation

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

What do you need from me?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
