How we handle sink repair in Hook
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and chips from dropped toiletries.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hook as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Hook

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Hook

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

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
