Sink repair in Stanton Hill, done in place
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stanton Hill
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Stanton Hill
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Stanton Hill. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Stanton Hill questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
