Sink repair in Denbury without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We’re frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Denbury questions
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you come to Denbury?
We do. We send a technician to Denbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
