Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

FAQs for Starbeck
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does sink repair cost in Starbeck?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, 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.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
For a price in Starbeck, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
