Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Walton-on-Trent, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin

Most customers in Walton-on-Trent get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Your questions about sink repair in Walton-on-Trent

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
