How we handle sink repair in Guide Post
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Guide Post
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Do you need sink repair in Guide Post?
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Guide Post?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Guide Post from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
