Choosing a repair company

Your questions about sink repair in King's Stanley

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in King's Stanley

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in King's Stanley

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

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.

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.
