About our sink repair in Ware

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can generally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

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. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What sink repair costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Ware and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Ware: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

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.
