Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

  • Belfast and butler sinks

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Work for landlords and builders

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Stour Row. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stour Row. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Choosing a repair company

Stour Row: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stour Row.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Stour Row?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Should you replace it?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
