Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Frinsted
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you come to Frinsted?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Frinsted. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Do you need sink repair in Frinsted?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frinsted use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
