Sink Repair for Stenton homes
Problem with your basin in Stenton? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
