Sink repair in Brown Edge, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for chips around the rim and a crack near the taps, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically 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

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Brown Edge

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Stoke-on-Trent.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Brown Edge?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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 is easier on the people living there.
