Sink repair in Raithby by Spilsby

Sink repair at your home in Raithby by Spilsby

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and a crack near the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Raithby by Spilsby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Raithby by Spilsby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
