Sink repair in Aston

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Questions from Aston

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

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

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Aston. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Aston, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 and leave the character intact.
