How we handle sink repair in Stank
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stank
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we are called out for in Stank
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stank. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Stank clients choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
