About our sink repair in Standon
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Standon, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Standon

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Most jobs done in one visit

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Standon: your questions answered
Do you work in Standon?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Standon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
