Sink Repair for Stainby homes
Sink repair across Stainby and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Stainby get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When we would advise against a repair

Repair or replace in Stainby?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95.
