Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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 price, not a guess.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When to call us in Burnage
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Your questions about sink repair in Burnage
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
