Sink repair in Hanchurch without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with an antique basin with chips and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can generally put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When to call us in Hanchurch
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 usually the cheaper route.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Hanchurch questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover Hanchurch?
We do. Technicians travel to Hanchurch from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
