How we handle sink repair in Busby
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Busby: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
