How we handle sink repair in Relubbus

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Relubbus

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
