Sink repair near Tunstall

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about sink repair in Tunstall

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Tunstall. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover Tunstall?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tunstall for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Tunstall clients choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
