What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

Your questions about sink repair in Stanley Gate
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Stanley Gate
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
