About our sink repair in Brincliffe
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. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brincliffe as everywhere else we work.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Brincliffe. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Landlord and trade work in Brincliffe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
