Sink repair at your home in Great Urswick
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can generally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole basin
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LA12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Great Urswick questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
