Sink repair near Staunton

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

About our sink repair in Staunton

We match the glaze as well as the colour. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Staunton

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

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

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.

Staunton: your questions answered

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
