Questions from Stainton
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How much does sink repair cost in Stainton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Sink repair in Stainton, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stainton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
