What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When to call us in Hinton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
Before you book anyone

Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hinton. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
