Sink repair for Treen homes

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Sink repair in Treen, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

What affects the price in Treen

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Treen. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Treen: your questions answered

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
