About our sink repair in Acresford
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
