How we handle sink repair in Prestleigh

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours 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. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Prestleigh

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Prestleigh as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
