How we handle sink repair in Sherston

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sherston

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sherston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, 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 us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Sherston

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • A crack near the taps
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips

  • How soon you can use it again

  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sherston. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
