Sink repair for Repps homes

Sink repair in Repps, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Repps?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Repps as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repps questions

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

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

Materials we work on in Repps

  • Belfast and butler sinks

Do you need sink repair in Repps?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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