Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Repair or replace in Stirtloe?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Stirtloe customers choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Stirtloe
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
