Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Sink repair in Escott, done in place

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. Taps and wastes stay connected. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace in Escott?

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
