Common questions in Stretton
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Stretton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Landlord and trade work in Stretton
For anyone letting property in or around Stretton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in Stretton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
