Sink repair in Redlands, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with chips around the rim and an original basin worth saving, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Redlands

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Redlands, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Questions from Redlands

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Redlands?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Redlands from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Redlands

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
