From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Slyne questions

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

Across the UK, so Slyne is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early

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

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.

When to call us in Slyne

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
