Sink repair in Stanford without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There is 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.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Signs you need sink repair in Stanford
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Stanford questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
