Sink repair in Stanton without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Stanton: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When to call us in Stanton
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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 normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stanton. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
