Sink repair near Seabrook

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

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.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

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.

Common problems we fix in Seabrook

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Look out for these signs:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Seabrook questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Seabrook included. Travel is included in the price.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
