Sink repair near Taverham

Sink repair in Taverham, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

FAQs for Taverham

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What do you need from me?
