- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Sink repair in Stoke Lodge without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze, in enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When to call us in Stoke Lodge
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Your questions about sink repair in Stoke Lodge
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke Lodge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
