Sink repair in Caverswall without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crack near the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
