About our sink repair in Sholden Meadows

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. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Sholden Meadows

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips around the rim
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

What affects the price in Sholden Meadows

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sholden Meadows. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Sholden Meadows

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sholden Meadows. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us
