What affects the price in Stapleton
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stapleton. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle sink repair in Stapleton
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

Repair or replace in Stapleton?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Stapleton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure

Your questions about sink repair in Stapleton
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover Stapleton?
We do. We send a technician to Stapleton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
