Sink repair near Waterside

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Sink repair at your home in Waterside

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped basin edge, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Waterside. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairing versus replacing in Waterside

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Waterside and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 normally cheaper.
