Sink repair in Howden without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Howden get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
