Choosing a repair company

How we handle sink repair in Tunstall

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Repair or replace in Tunstall?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Tunstall

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Tunstall and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tunstall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
