Sink repair in Upper Chicksgrove

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Sink repair in Upper Chicksgrove, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped toiletries and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Upper Chicksgrove customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

FAQs for Upper Chicksgrove

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

You do not 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 reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Upper Chicksgrove

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crack near the taps

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Materials we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
