The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Stoneferry
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Do you need sink repair in Stoneferry?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Stoneferry. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stoneferry, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoneferry
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
