What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
About our sink repair in Fence Houses
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Fence Houses
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Fence Houses. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

We work across DH4. That includes homes on Grange Avenue, Acacia Avenue and Murray Avenue and the roads around them. Fence Houses sits on or near the A1052, which makes travel easy.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Your questions about sink repair in Fence Houses
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Fence Houses?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Fence Houses.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Fence Houses?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
