Sink repair in Deane, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Deane. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, 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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Deane questions
Do you cover Deane?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Deane and the rest of Hampshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Deane is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
