About our sink repair in Stead
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Other services in Stead
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Common questions in Stead
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Stead?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover the entire of Bradford?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Stead. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
