- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle sink repair in Staverton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What else we do in Staverton
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
