About our sink repair in Harpur
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with a crazed, tired basin and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Harpur
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you come to Harpur?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Harpur and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Harpur?

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy 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. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace in Harpur?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
