Sink repair in Stanley Ferry

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Stanley Ferry

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Stanley Ferry. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Signs you need sink repair in Stanley Ferry

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price sink repair

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

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
