Sink repair for Seend homes

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Sink repair at your home in Seend

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and cracks starting at the waste.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about sink repair in Seend

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover the entire of Wiltshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Seend included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Seend?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlord and trade work in Seend

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

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.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
