When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stratford sub Castle. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Stratford sub Castle questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
