Sink repair in Collyweston, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Collyweston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairing versus replacing in Collyweston
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts 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.
