Sink repair in Breaston without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips from dropped toiletries.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Breaston questions
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
