Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How we handle sink repair in Gleadless Valley
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sheffield.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Gleadless Valley: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Gleadless Valley and the rest of Sheffield. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Gleadless Valley
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
