Trusted sink repair in Three Horse Shoes

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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

How we handle sink repair in Three Horse Shoes

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We’re frequently asked to fix crazing in the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Three Horse Shoes

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Three Horse Shoes. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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