Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
Do you need sink repair in Gilberries?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin

Common questions in Gilberries
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
