Sink repair in Stitchcombe without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and chips around the rim.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace in Stitchcombe?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Do you need sink repair in Stitchcombe?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners

FAQs for Stitchcombe
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Are there extra charges for Stitchcombe?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
