  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Your questions about sink repair in Stoneyford

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Stoneyford is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Nottinghamshire.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
