Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Your questions about sink repair in Hanford

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

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

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Hanford

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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 price, not a guess.
