Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Sink repair in Kirkby Stephen without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps, we can normally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we are called out for in Kirkby Stephen
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Repairing versus replacing in Kirkby Stephen
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One price list for the whole UK
- Work done at your home or business

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
