Sink repair for Stainton homes

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we handle sink repair in Stainton

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Stainton: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Rotherham?

Across the UK, so Stainton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stainton

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

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the basin and check 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 it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
