How we handle sink repair in Brignall
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Common problems we fix in Brignall
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

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 frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
