About our sink repair in Southill

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We are frequently asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

What we work on

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Southill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
