Sink repair at your home in Washingborough

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and crazing in the glaze, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Landlords, agents and businesses in Washingborough

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Washingborough. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
