Sink repair near Wardley

What your basin is made of matters

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How we handle sink repair in Wardley

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crack near the taps, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wardley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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