Sink repair for Lower Stoke homes

About our sink repair in Lower Stoke

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and an antique basin with chips, we can normally put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Lower Stoke

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire basin

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
