Sink repair in Stanmer without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips, we can help, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we are called out for in Stanmer
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped basin edge
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Stanmer
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
