How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

FAQs for Stody

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Stody and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What affects the price in Stody

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
