About our sink repair in Greenheys
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and crazing in the glaze.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Greenheys. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Your questions about sink repair in Greenheys
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
