- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Sink repair at your home in Hargrave
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
