Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and a crack near the taps, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Staplers
If you manage property in Staplers, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, 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.
- 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.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Staplers: your questions answered
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Staplers and the rest of Isle of Wight. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Composite and resin

Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
