Repairing versus replacing in Stodmarsh

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stodmarsh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Stodmarsh

How do I get a price for sink repair in Stodmarsh?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Stodmarsh

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
