About our sink repair in Hinxworth
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and an antique basin with chips.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Hinxworth: your questions answered
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Hinxworth is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy 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.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
