What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Sink repair at your home in Stockley
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped basin edge, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stockley. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stockley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairing versus replacing in Stockley
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
