Book sink repair in Queen Charlton

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Sink repair in Queen Charlton, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Our hiring checklist

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Questions from Queen Charlton

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Queen Charlton included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
