Sink repair at your home in Framwellgate Moor
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and chips around the rim, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Framwellgate Moor
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving

Repairing versus replacing in Framwellgate Moor
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
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.

Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
