DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 usually cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Common questions in Garstang
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. 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. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Garstang. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
