About our sink repair in Holton
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- 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.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry

Your questions about sink repair in Holton
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Holton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Holton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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.
