Sink repair for Telscombe homes

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Sink repair in Telscombe, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and crazing in the glaze, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Telscombe: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What do you need from me?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. We do not 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.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What we are called out for in Telscombe

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A crack near the taps

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
