Sink repair in Stoke Lyne without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and chips on the rim or front edge.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Should you replace it?

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Do you need sink repair in Stoke Lyne?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Stoke Lyne questions
Can tenants book a repair?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Stoke Lyne?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
