Staveley questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Staveley?
We do. Technicians travel to Staveley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What we’re called out for in Staveley
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repairing versus replacing in Staveley
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Staveley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 typically the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Staveley
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Staveley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
