About our sink repair in Furneux Pelham
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. 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 them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Do you need sink repair in Furneux Pelham?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
