Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Common questions in Puddledock

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NR17 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Signs you need sink repair in Puddledock

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.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Crazing in the glaze

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
