South Stoke: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Signs you need sink repair in South Stoke

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repair or replace in South Stoke?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in South Stoke

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
