Sink repair at your home in Barrow
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Repairing versus replacing in Barrow
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Barrow
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go 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 get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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 photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price.
