Sink repair in Townsend, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps, we can help.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repair or replace in Townsend?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlords, agents and businesses in Townsend

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Townsend, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
