Sink repair in Hopkinstown without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Hopkinstown
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
