Sink repair in Breckles without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on a built-in basin and chips around the rim.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Breckles as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Questions from Breckles
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Signs you need sink repair in Breckles
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
