Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Springfield

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Springfield use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When to call us in Springfield

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

Springfield: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing

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

Materials we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Springfield. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
