About our sink repair in Howdendyke
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
