What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Sink repair in St Mary's without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in St Mary's and across Southampton.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

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

What affects the price in St Mary's

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for St Mary's. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in St Mary's get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
