Trusted sink repair in Stapleton

Sink repair in Stapleton, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We are frequently asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and chips on a built-in basin, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stapleton

For anyone letting property in or around Stapleton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

What we work on

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

Stapleton questions

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Stapleton and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Do you need sink repair in Stapleton?

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
