Your questions about sink repair in Stenalees
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after 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.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
