Signs you need sink repair in Holywell
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
