Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Sink repair in Burton on the Wolds, done in place
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. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

When to call us in Burton on the Wolds
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
