Sink repair in Gloucester without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Gloucester and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
FAQs for Gloucester
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gloucestershire.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you work in Gloucester?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gloucester. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done 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.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
