Repairs by material

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Your questions about sink repair in Stone Cross

Do you work in Stone Cross?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stone Cross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include 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 repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stone Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace in Stone Cross?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When to call us in Stone Cross

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
