Sink repair for Small Way homes

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Small Way. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Small Way: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

We cover the whole UK, including Small Way and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do you cover Small Way?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Small Way. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Small Way, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
