Sink repair in Windmill Hill without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Repairing versus replacing in Windmill Hill

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Windmill Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 pictures.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
