What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

About our sink repair in Symonds Yat West

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and chips from dropped toiletries, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Symonds Yat West

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
