Staxton: your questions answered

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Do you work in Staxton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Staxton and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you need sink repair in Staxton?

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips

Questions to ask before you book

How to compare quotes

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Staxton. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new 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. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

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.

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