Sink & basin repair in Apedale, Staffordshire
Our technicians come to Apedale for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Sink repair in Apedale, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Apedale and across Staffordshire.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 pictures, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Apedale
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Common problems we fix in Apedale
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
