Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stocklinch. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Stocklinch get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When to call us in Stocklinch
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled

Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Stocklinch
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
