Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

For anyone letting property in or around Glen Parva, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Signs you need sink repair in Glen Parva
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
