Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Strongstry. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Strongstry
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Questions from Strongstry
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
