Sink repair at your home in High Marishes
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and knocks from hair straighteners.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
