How we handle sink repair in Upper Stoke

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips around the rim and fine cracks across the glaze.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

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’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Upper Stoke. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Upper Stoke and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
