About our sink repair in Stanstead
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we are called out for in Stanstead

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
FAQs for Stanstead
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Stanstead.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
