Sink repair in Mow Cop, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Mow Cop questions

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Mow Cop included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Mow Cop?

We do. Technicians travel to Mow Cop from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mow Cop

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain

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

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
