Sink repair near Raydon

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Raydon questions

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
