What we can’t put right

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

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Stewley

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Stewley?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

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

What affects the price in Stewley

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stewley. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stewley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Any details about the material

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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we are called out for in Stewley

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on a built-in basin

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
