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.

Vitreous china

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stainland

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stainland use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Stainland

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Stainland

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our prices page.

Stainland: your questions answered

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Stainland.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • 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.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stainland. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
