Sink repair at your home in Halwill Junction
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or front edge and crazing in the glaze.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When to call us in Halwill Junction
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Halwill Junction questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
