Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Sink repair in Stow Bardolph, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and chips on the rim or front edge.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Stow Bardolph
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Your questions about sink repair in Stow Bardolph
Are there extra charges for Stow Bardolph?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
