Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
How we handle sink repair in Bolam
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

FAQs for Bolam
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Bolam included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you come to Bolam?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bolam. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
