Sink repair in Stone Street

For landlords and businesses

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.

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

Sink repair in Stone Street, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in Stone Street

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips

Questions to ask before booking

Stone Street questions

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

Everywhere in the UK, Stone Street included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
