The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- 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.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry

FAQs for Stancombe
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Stancombe?
We do. Technicians travel to Stancombe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Do you need sink repair in Stancombe?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stancombe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repairing versus replacing in Stancombe
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
