Advice
Sink repair in Backford, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

More services for Backford
Landlord and trade work in Backford
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Backford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire basin
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
