About our sink repair in Hanging Heaton
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and fine cracks across the glaze.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Go 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WF12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
