How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Stonehills. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stonehills. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Stonehills

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An antique basin with chips

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

What we work on

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

Your questions about sink repair in Stonehills

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How much does sink repair cost in Stonehills?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SO45 postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
