Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

Do you need sink repair in The Village?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Landlord and trade work in The Village

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in The Village

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

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

FAQs for The Village

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to The Village. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
