Sink repair in Barkston Heath, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
For a price in Barkston Heath, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barkston Heath use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
