How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stenson. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Can I fix it myself?
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.
FAQs for Stenson
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Common problems we fix in Stenson
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stenson
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
