Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need sink repair in Deeping Gate?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins

Deeping Gate: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
