About our sink repair in Buckland Hollow
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
