Sink repair in Barnsbury without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
When to call us in Barnsbury
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Common reasons people in Barnsbury contact us are:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
