Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How we handle sink repair in Capel St Mary
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips around the rim.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Capel St Mary as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Capel St Mary as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Capel St Mary, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Capel St Mary: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
