How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Stoke

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

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

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Medway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Stoke: your questions answered

When can you do it?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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 you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
