About our sink repair in Hindpool
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. 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.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hindpool. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Hindpool: your questions answered
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
