How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Awkley questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What we are called out for in Awkley
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
What your basin is made of matters
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
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Awkley
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- A year’s guarantee on all work
