How we handle sink repair in Balgay
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We are often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
The price 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DD2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
