About our sink repair in Catterall
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with cracks starting at the waste and a chipped vanity basin, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
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 over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
When to call us in Catterall
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Catterall: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Catterall?
We do. Technicians travel to Catterall from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
