Sink repair in Farnborough, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

Farnborough questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Farnborough.
Are there extra charges for Farnborough?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover Farnborough?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Farnborough. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
