Sink repair in Hackthorpe without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Hackthorpe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Hackthorpe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hackthorpe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When to call us in Hackthorpe
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Common reasons people in Hackthorpe contact us are:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
