What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Do you need sink repair in Simonsburrow?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our full price list.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Simonsburrow. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
