Sink repair at your home in Waterton

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and a crack near the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

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

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually cheaper.

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

When to call us in Waterton

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Questions from Waterton

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Bridgend. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

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