Need sink repair in Staxigoe?

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Staxigoe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should you replace it?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Staxigoe

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Different materials, different repairs
