How we handle sink repair in Wyboston

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wyboston as everywhere else we work.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed 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. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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