Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Stroud: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

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

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Stroud get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Stroud

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
