Sink repair in Wiveton

Sink repair in Wiveton without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and cracks starting at the waste, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wiveton. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Wiveton

Will it make a mess?

Can you price it without visiting?

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Wiveton included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
