Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for South Stifford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common problems we fix in South Stifford
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped vanity basin

FAQs for South Stifford

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
