Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Compton Acres. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Do you need sink repair in Compton Acres?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

- A crack near the taps
