How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Choosing a repair company

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Stanningfield

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.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
