Sink repair for Stopsley homes

Sink repair in Stopsley, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Stopsley

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before booking

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about sink repair in Stopsley

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Luton. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

What we work on

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

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
