Sink repair in Acomb Park, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and crazing in the glaze.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Signs you need sink repair in Acomb Park
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
