From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gimingham. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
