Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Sink repair in Barnhill, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Barnhill: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Dundee. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
