Sink repair in Stetchworth without replacing anything

We match the glaze as well as the colour. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What affects the price in Stetchworth

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
