How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stileway. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise 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.
