Sink repair at your home in Blackridge
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Blackridge
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Take a look at our pricing.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackridge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
