How we handle sink repair in Trench

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Trench questions

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you come to Trench?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Trench. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you repair an antique basin?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Telford and Wrekin.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Do you need sink repair in Trench?

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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