Sink repair in Hastigrow without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips around the rim.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What affects the price in Hastigrow
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Hastigrow

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
