Sink repair in Plumtree

Repairs by material

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Sink repair at your home in Plumtree

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and crazing in the glaze, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Plumtree: your questions answered

Do you come to Plumtree?

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

Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Plumtree. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Plumtree?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Plumtree

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
