Sink repair in Hankerton without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips around the rim.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Signs you need sink repair in Hankerton
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks starting at the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Hankerton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Hankerton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Hankerton: your questions answered
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Hankerton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
