About our sink repair in Troy Town

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There is no plumbing to disconnect. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped toiletries and a crazed, tired basin.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Your questions about sink repair in Troy Town

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Troy Town. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire basin

If you’re in Troy Town and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Troy Town

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Repairs by material

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

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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