Sink repair in Goldthorpe, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips, we can help, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Goldthorpe: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What affects the price in Goldthorpe
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
