The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use. Somewhere as small as Hulverstone, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the sink repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace in Hulverstone?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route.

Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Common problems we fix in Hulverstone
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
