How we handle sink repair in Raunds

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and a chipped vanity basin.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Raunds and across Northamptonshire.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Raunds: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will you remove the sink?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Raunds, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Raunds use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Signs you need sink repair in Raunds

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Do not overtighten taps

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

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

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Raunds. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
