When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Materials we repair

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

Sink repair at your home in Stonesby

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 cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

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

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

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

Stonesby: your questions answered

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work in Stonesby?

We do. We send a technician to Stonesby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are there extra charges for Stonesby?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Stonesby included. Travel is included in the price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
