Sink repair in East Hardwick without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are often asked to fix an antique basin with chips and a crack near the taps, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in East Hardwick and across Wakefield.

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
East Hardwick: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so East Hardwick is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
