How we handle sink repair in Lower Stretton

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about sink repair in Lower Stretton

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Do you come to Lower Stretton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lower Stretton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • One sharp close-up of the damage

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
