What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Sink repair at your home in Selsley

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and crazing in the glaze, we can generally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Selsley

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Selsley customers choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Selsley

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Selsley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
