Sink repair in Colne without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and an antique basin with chips.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What affects the price in Colne
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Colne. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
