About our sink repair in Bearwood
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and an original basin worth saving, we can help, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty 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. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Bearwood: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?
We cover the whole UK, including Bearwood and the rest of Birmingham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we are called out for in Bearwood
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bearwood. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
