Sink repair in Staveley without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
