Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Sink repair at your home in Stanhope
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
