About our sink repair in Stonecrouch

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and chips on the rim or front edge.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Most clients in Stonecrouch get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Stonecrouch

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Common reasons people in Stonecrouch contact us are:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally 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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
