Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Stoke-on-Trent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Sink repair at your home in Basford
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Basford
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Your questions about sink repair in Basford
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Basford?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ST5 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What we are called out for in Basford
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your photos
See our pricing.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
