Repair or replace in Stanton Lees?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
