Sink repair for Two Locks homes

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Sink repair in Two Locks without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you are dealing with a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Two Locks: your questions answered

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Two Locks

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Two Locks use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
