Sink repair in Treviscoe without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

What we are called out for in Treviscoe

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
