About our sink repair in Hardwick
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips from dropped toiletries.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Questions from Hardwick
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover the entire of Stockton-on-Tees?
Everywhere in the UK, Hardwick included. Travel is included in the price.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
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 generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
