Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early

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, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
