How we handle sink repair in Little Haywood

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How much does sink repair cost in Little Haywood?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Landlord and trade work in Little Haywood

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 matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use mild cleaners only

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What we are called out for in Little Haywood

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
