Sink repair in Stotfold Common

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

About our sink repair in Stotfold Common

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Advice

Your questions about sink repair in Stotfold Common

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stotfold Common.

Are there extra charges for Stotfold Common?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

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.
