Sink repair in Glapthorn without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and chips around the rim, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done 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, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Glapthorn
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Glapthorn?

What we’re called out for in Glapthorn
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
