About our sink repair in Drayton
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and a chipped basin edge.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Signs you need sink repair in Drayton

- A chipped vanity basin

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Drayton
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Drayton. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairs by material
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
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 usually the cheaper route.
Your questions about sink repair in Drayton
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Drayton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
