When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are often asked to fix a chipped basin edge and a chipped vanity basin, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

FAQs for Holdsworth

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you work in Holdsworth?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Holdsworth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Repairing versus replacing in Holdsworth

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only

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.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Holdsworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
