About our sink repair in Broad Colney
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and cracks starting at the waste, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Broad Colney. The price depends on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
