Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Sink repair in Doughton, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix an original basin worth saving and knocks from hair straighteners, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Doughton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Doughton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
