How we handle sink repair in Stacksteads

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include a crazed, tired basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, across enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Stacksteads questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

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 householders in Stacksteads.

Do you come to Stacksteads?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stacksteads and the rest of Lancashire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stacksteads

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stacksteads as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stacksteads. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
