What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Sink repair at your home in Salt End

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can usually put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Questions from Salt End

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Salt End?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Salt End. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
