DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stock use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour-matched on site
- Same prices wherever you are

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Stock: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Stock?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Stock?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. 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.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
