Common problems we fix in Gornal
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:

- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gornal, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
