We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Your questions about sink repair in Stoford

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you cover Stoford?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stoford and the rest of Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

If you’re in Stoford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
