Sink repair in Taddiport, done in place

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Taddiport

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlord and trade work in Taddiport

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Taddiport use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Taddiport

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
