Sink repair in Barton without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and chips around the rim.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Barton
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Barton?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Repair or replace in Barton?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
