Sink repair near Stroud

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Sink repair in Stroud, done in place

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Stroud

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Common questions in Stroud

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Stroud.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Stroud included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Signs you need sink repair in Stroud

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
