Trusted sink repair in Sardis

Sink repair at your home in Sardis

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on a built-in basin and chips from dropped toiletries.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Sardis: your questions answered

How much does sink repair cost in Sardis?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SA4 postcode.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you restore period basins?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Sardis

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

If you manage property in Sardis, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
