The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 typically the cheaper route.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in West Walton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in West Walton

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Landlord and trade work in West Walton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
