Sink repair in Stenness without replacing anything
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. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped vanity basin and an original basin worth saving.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Stenness questions
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Stenness?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stenness. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Repairing versus replacing in Stenness
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need sink repair in Stenness?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
DIY kit or professional 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Stenness, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
