Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke-by-Clare

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our pricing.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stoke-by-Clare. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Stoke-by-Clare

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
