Repairing versus replacing in Sternfield

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common questions in Sternfield

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Are there extra charges for Sternfield?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain

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 and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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 mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
