Sink repair at your home in Siston

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with an antique basin with chips and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, whatever the material.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Siston questions

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

For landlords and businesses

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

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Signs you need sink repair in Siston

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin
