What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stainburn. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Your questions about sink repair in Stainburn
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Stainburn?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Stainburn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Keeping it looking good
