Sink repair for Preston Brook homes

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.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Sink repair in Preston Brook, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin, we can generally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Preston Brook get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
