Sink repair at your home in Hayton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Hayton
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
