Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoneyhills as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Stoneyhills, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What we are called out for in Stoneyhills

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Stoneyhills

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
