When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

When to call us in Stewton

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Crazing in the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

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

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
