Repairing versus replacing in Stretton
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Stretton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Stretton
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover Stretton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stretton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
