About our sink repair in The Handfords
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The Handfords: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including The Handfords and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your ST18 postcode.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
