What we’re called out for in Old Stratford

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped vanity basin

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Stratford. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Old Stratford, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about sink repair in Old Stratford

Does someone need to be in?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Old Stratford.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
