Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

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.

Smyrton: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

When to call us in Smyrton

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Choosing a repair company

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Should you replace it?

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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Smyrton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smyrton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Smyrton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
