Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Sink repair at your home in Whaplode

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Whether it’s an antique basin with chips and a chipped basin edge, we can usually put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

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

Repairs by material

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

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Signs you need sink repair in Whaplode

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Whaplode

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whaplode use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t overtighten taps

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Questions from Whaplode

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Whaplode included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day

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

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  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

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
