How we handle sink repair in Darley Hall
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and fine cracks across the glaze.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Luton.

Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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 the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Darley Hall
Do you cover the whole of Luton?
Across the UK, and that includes Darley Hall. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Darley Hall.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Other services in Darley Hall
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
