About our sink repair in Durrants
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and a crack near the taps.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Durrants
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Signs you need sink repair in Durrants
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
