Your questions about sink repair in Tisman's Common

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Do you cover Tisman's Common?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Tisman's Common. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

About our sink repair in Tisman's Common

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

Signs you need sink repair in Tisman's Common

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RH12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
