Trusted sink repair in Spalford

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

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.

How we handle sink repair in Spalford

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace in Spalford?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Spalford

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
