Sink repair at your home in Highweek
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Widespread crazing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can you repair several things at once?

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
