How we handle sink repair in Sturton by Stow

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
