Sink repair near Stokenham

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we handle sink repair in Stokenham

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Stokenham

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are you accredited?

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

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
