Sink repair in Victoria

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early

Do not 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.

FAQs for Victoria

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Victoria. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Victoria

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.
