Sink repair at your home in Hallatrow
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and chips on the rim or front edge, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Hallatrow
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we are called out for in Hallatrow
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips around the rim
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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 and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
