FAQs for Stone Common
How do I get a price for sink repair in Stone Common?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stone Common.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stone Common. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
