Sink repair in Stathern without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and a crack near the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Stathern: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Stathern?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When to call us in Stathern
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How to look after the finish
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stathern
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
