Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
About our sink repair in Blackness
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s an antique basin with chips and chips on a built-in basin, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Blackness
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
