Trusted sink repair in West Chelborough

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Sink repair in West Chelborough, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in West Chelborough

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

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 finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use gentle cleaners

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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