How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Staunton in the Vale. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Staunton in the Vale

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

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

FAQs for Staunton in the Vale

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Staunton in the Vale.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in Staunton in the Vale

  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
