Sink repair in Whitchurch

Sink repair in Whitchurch without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitchurch

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Whitchurch

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Whitchurch questions

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover Whitchurch?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Whitchurch and the rest of Bristol. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
