Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How we price sink repair

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Stanford-le-Hope and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

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

Your questions about sink repair in Stanford-le-Hope

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover Stanford-le-Hope?

We do. We send a technician to Stanford-le-Hope for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Stanford-le-Hope

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
