Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. 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 Stanley Moss. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Stanley Moss

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

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

Do you come to Stanley Moss?

We do. We send a technician to Stanley Moss for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

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 will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Stanley Moss

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An original basin worth saving

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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 mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanley Moss

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanley Moss use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Different materials, different repairs

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 fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
