DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Sink repair in Great Gidding, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, 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.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
