Sink repair in Stoughton, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on a built-in basin and a crack near the taps.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

FAQs for Stoughton

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Stoughton?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Will you remove the sink?

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

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

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

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.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
