Styal questions
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
