Sink repair in Bondend without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bondend use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Bondend questions
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL4 postcode.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bondend. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
