Sink repair in Hale Bank, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, across antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Questions from Hale Bank
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
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.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repair or replace in Hale Bank?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
