Repairing versus replacing in Stivichall
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
