About our sink repair in Tadlow

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Tadlow: your questions answered

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

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

What we’re called out for in Tadlow

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • An original basin worth saving

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Tadlow

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Tadlow get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • A fixed quote before booking
