How we handle sink repair in Stithians
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What affects the price in Stithians
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stithians. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
