Sink repair for Porton homes

Sink repair in Porton, done in place

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Porton

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Landlord and trade work in Porton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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.

When to call us in Porton

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An original basin worth saving

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before booking

What affects the price in Porton

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
