Sink repair in Meaford without replacing anything

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Meaford and across Staffordshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Meaford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meaford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
