Advice
About our sink repair in Upton Towans
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We’re often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upton Towans as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repairing versus replacing in Upton Towans
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
