What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Repair or replace in South Croxton?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Questions from South Croxton

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How much does sink repair cost in South Croxton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

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

Do you work in South Croxton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to South Croxton and the rest of Leicestershire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for South Croxton. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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