Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common problems we fix in Sowerbutt's Green

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Related advice

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sowerbutt's Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PR5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
