Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

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

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about sink repair in The Heath

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so The Heath is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What affects the price in The Heath

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for The Heath. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in The Heath, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

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.
