Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Bastwick get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Questions from Bastwick
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Landlord and trade work in Bastwick
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
