Sink repair in Hawkshaw without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
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 few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. 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 quote.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Hawkshaw: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Hawkshaw?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hawkshaw from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Hawkshaw is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Common problems we fix in Hawkshaw
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
