Repairing versus replacing in Starston

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What to look for in a quote

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Starston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Starston

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Starston. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Starston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
