Sink repair for Toothill homes

Sink repair in Toothill without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

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.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SN5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

When we visit, 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 clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Toothill

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work in Toothill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Toothill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you cover the entire of Swindon?

All of Swindon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Toothill?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Toothill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

What we’re called out for in Toothill

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
