Sink Repair in Water Stratford
Fixed-price sink repair in Water Stratford and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Sink repair at your home in Water Stratford
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
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 will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
