Sink repair in Sutton Bingham

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Sink repair in Sutton Bingham, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and chips on a built-in basin, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Sutton Bingham: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Common problems we fix in Sutton Bingham

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Common reasons people in Sutton Bingham contact us include:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Crazing in the glaze

10 questions to ask before booking

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
