How we handle sink repair in Heaton
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole basin
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
