Sink repair in Stenigot without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and a chipped vanity basin, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Common questions in Stenigot

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
