Sink repair in St Mary Hoo, done in place

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in St Mary Hoo

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How to compare quotes

Questions from St Mary Hoo

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around St Mary Hoo, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
