Sink repair in Steinis without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, 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.
What affects the price in Steinis
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Steinis. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

There’s 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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Steinis
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Common questions in Steinis
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
