How we handle sink repair in Bushby
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Signs you need sink repair in Bushby
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

- What happens if they find more damage
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
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 will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
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 frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Repairing versus replacing in Bushby
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
