About our sink repair in Spion Kop

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 work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs 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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spion Kop as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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