About our sink repair in Barnyards
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Barnyards

Barnyards: your questions answered
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Barnyards is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens on the day

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
