Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

Sink repair in Sampford Brett without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Sampford Brett questions

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
