Sink Repair for Standen homes
Our technicians come to Standen for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
About our sink repair in Standen
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Standen
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Standen, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

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 finish the repair to the same sheen.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
