Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

About our sink repair in Staplow

FAQs for Staplow

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. 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 and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Repairing versus replacing in Staplow

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Staplow, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

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