Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Your questions about sink repair in Staple Fitzpaine
Do you come to Staple Fitzpaine?
We do. Technicians travel to Staple Fitzpaine from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- 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. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
