How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
How we handle sink repair in Stapleford
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
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.
Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Stapleford
Stapleford questions
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
