Sink repair in Exhall without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we are called out for in Exhall
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Exhall. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Exhall, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Exhall
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
