About our sink repair in Blakestones
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kirklees.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blakestones. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Blakestones
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?
All of Kirklees, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
