Should you replace it?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What else we do in Bishopsgarth
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
