DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 frequently lifts.
About our sink repair in Prestwood
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and chips from dropped toiletries, we can generally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in Prestwood
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prestwood: your questions answered

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Prestwood and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
