How we handle sink repair in Barnburgh
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we’re called out for in Barnburgh
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What to look for in a quote

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
