Sink repair in Heamoor, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
When to call us in Heamoor
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Repairing versus replacing in Heamoor
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One price list for the entire UK
- Fixed prices from your photos

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
