How we handle sink repair in Holborn
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Holborn
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
