Sink repair in Upper Rissington

Sink repair in Upper Rissington without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

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

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Upper Rissington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Rissington

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
