Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Sink repair at your home in Farther Howegreen
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Farther Howegreen. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy

When to call us in Farther Howegreen
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

- An antique basin with chips
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Farther Howegreen: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
