Sink & basin repair in The Stocks, Wiltshire
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in The Stocks, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Signs you need sink repair in The Stocks

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.

FAQs for The Stocks
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you cover the entire of Wiltshire?
All of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?

- Most jobs done in one visit

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
