About our sink repair in Bickershaw
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bickershaw. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 often lifts.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
