About our sink repair in Butterwick
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a chipped basin edge, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about sink repair in Butterwick
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairing versus replacing in Butterwick
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
