Sink repair in Sarsden

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

Sink repair in Sarsden without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are frequently asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim, in Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sarsden, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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

Sarsden: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in Sarsden

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
