Sink repair in Hollow Street without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Hollow Street
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos 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.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Hollow Street
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Common questions in Hollow Street
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
