Sink repair in Fauld

Sink repair in Fauld, done in place

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and crazing in the glaze, we can usually put it right, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fauld as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Fauld: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Fauld and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
