Your questions about sink repair in Steward's Green

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Are you accredited?

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

Are there extra charges for Steward's Green?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairs by material

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Steward's Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our full price list.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Steward's Green

Landlord and trade work in Steward's Green

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Steward's Green as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
