What else we do in Stocker's Head
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stocker's Head
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Stocker's Head, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Your questions about sink repair in Stocker's Head
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you come to Stocker's Head?
We do. Technicians travel to Stocker's Head from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Stocker's Head. Prices don’t change with location.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
