Sink repair in Gawthwaite without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t 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 pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
