How we handle sink repair in Stanbury
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and crazing in the glaze.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bradford.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Advice
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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Stanbury?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
