Sink repair near Plump Hill

Sink repair in Plump Hill, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Read our pricing.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Plump Hill. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your GL17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Do you need sink repair in Plump Hill?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped vanity basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
