Sink repair for Stratton Audley homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Sink repair at your home in Stratton Audley

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and chips around the rim, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Stratton Audley: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How much does sink repair cost in Stratton Audley?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Stratton Audley

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stratton Audley. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Stratton Audley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
