How we handle sink repair in Rode Heath

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What affects the price in Rode Heath

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rode Heath. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
