Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Stretton. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Sink repair in Stretton without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped toiletries and chips around the rim.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repairing versus replacing in Stretton
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Stretton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
