Repairs by material

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Sink repair in Green Tye without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.

What else we do in Green Tye
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Green Tye, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Green Tye
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you cover Green Tye?
We do. We send a technician to Green Tye for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
