Sink repair in Stretton-on-Dunsmore

How we handle sink repair in Stretton-on-Dunsmore

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stretton-on-Dunsmore use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

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

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

  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.

Your questions about sink repair in Stretton-on-Dunsmore

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work in Stretton-on-Dunsmore?

We do. We send a technician to Stretton-on-Dunsmore for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
