About our sink repair in Garnethill
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.
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.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Your questions about sink repair in Garnethill
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Garnethill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Garnethill. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Landlord and trade work in Garnethill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Garnethill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
