How we handle sink repair in Charnock Richard
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
