Need sink repair in Stanton St John?

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Stanton St John. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Stanton St John

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common questions in Stanton St John

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace in Stanton St John?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What happens on the day

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. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
