Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Sink repair in Drinkstone Green without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Drinkstone Green and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drinkstone Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Drinkstone Green. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Drinkstone Green get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- 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 tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
