How we handle sink repair in Ball
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ball use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Ball, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
