Sink repair for Stand homes

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

About our sink repair in Stand

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stand as everywhere else we work.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Signs you need sink repair in Stand

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Questions from Stand

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

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.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
