DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Sink repair at your home in Flaxpool
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips around the rim, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Flaxpool. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Flaxpool: your questions answered
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Flaxpool, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace in Flaxpool?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
