About our sink repair in Birstall
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Landlord and trade work in Birstall
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
