A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and fine cracks across the glaze, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Greenholme. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Greenholme, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Greenholme questions
Are there extra charges for Greenholme?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do you work in Greenholme?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Greenholme from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Signs you need sink repair in Greenholme
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
