About our sink repair in Calder Bridge
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
