About sink repair in Staffordshire

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving.

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Cost

Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Repairing versus replacing

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that.

Common problems we fix in Staffordshire

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
