Sink repair in Ubley

Sink repair at your home in Ubley

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an original basin worth saving, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

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.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ubley. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ubley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
