Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

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

Do you need sink repair in Radley Green?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Common questions in Radley Green

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Radley Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
