How we handle sink repair in Holbrook
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What affects the price in Holbrook
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Holbrook
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chips around the rim
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crazed, tired basin
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
