What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Barber Green questions
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.

Signs you need sink repair in Barber Green
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners

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. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

Landlord and trade work in Barber Green
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
