DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Barton. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that 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.
When to call us in Barton
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Your questions about sink repair in Barton
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
