Sink repair at your home in Gaulby
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gaulby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Questions from Gaulby
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you work in Gaulby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gaulby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
