Sink repair in Gulval without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Gulval?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Gulval. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
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.
