Sink Repair for Stella homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Stella, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
About our sink repair in Stella
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Common questions in Stella
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stella. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Stella
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stella as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
