We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips around the rim.

Repairing versus replacing in Stanhoe
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Stanhoe
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you cover Stanhoe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stanhoe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
