What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Common questions in Stow
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your photos

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
