Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stanford Dingley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site

See our pricing.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanford Dingley

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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Signs you need sink repair in Stanford Dingley

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips around the rim

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Stanford Dingley: your questions answered

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How do I get a price for sink repair in Stanford Dingley?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
