Sink repair in Barton Gate, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re often asked to fix an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Barton Gate. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
