About our sink repair in Stoford
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crack near the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Stoford: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What else we do in Stoford
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
