Sink repair in Ham without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Common problems we fix in Ham
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin
- A period basin that needs restoring

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
