Sink repair at your home in Stratton
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and a crazed, tired basin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Stratton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What affects the price in Stratton
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stratton. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Signs you need sink repair in Stratton
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
