About our sink repair in Barton
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Advice
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Barton questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Barton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
