Your questions about sink repair in Lea Heath
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you work in Lea Heath?
We do. We send a technician to Lea Heath for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Signs you need sink repair in Lea Heath
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Lea Heath
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lea Heath. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Lea Heath and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
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.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
