Sink repair in Goon Gumpas without replacing anything
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Goon Gumpas: your questions answered
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What else we do in Goon Gumpas
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
