Sink repair in Stratford-on-Avon, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

A quick wipe after use helps, 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Stratford-on-Avon

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you come to Stratford-on-Avon?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Stratford-on-Avon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

What we are called out for in Stratford-on-Avon

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Most clients in Stratford-on-Avon get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your basin is made of matters

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. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
