How we handle sink repair in Dent
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and cracks starting at the waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Dent, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Do you need sink repair in Dent?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving

Questions from Dent
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Dent included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
