Repairing versus replacing in Stillington
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything

Sink repair in Stillington without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Your questions about sink repair in Stillington
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you come to Stillington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stillington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders
