Sink repair at your home in Stelling Minnis

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Stelling Minnis, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stelling Minnis use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Stelling Minnis

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Common questions in Stelling Minnis

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you come to Stelling Minnis?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Stelling Minnis from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Stelling Minnis get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
