About our sink repair in Birches Green
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What else we do in Birches Green
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Birches Green
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Your questions about sink repair in Birches Green
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Birches Green.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
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 will quote them together.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birches Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
