Sink repair in Hartington, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and chips from dropped toiletries.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SK17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Hartington: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you come to Hartington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hartington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
