Sink repair in Sible Hedingham

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Sink repair in Sible Hedingham, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Sible Hedingham?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
