Sink repair in Stubshaw Cross without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and fine cracks across the glaze, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Stubshaw Cross
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Stubshaw Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
