Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wilsthorpe. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilsthorpe

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Wilsthorpe

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Common questions in Wilsthorpe

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will you remove the sink?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Should you replace it?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
