Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Hutton Henry
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hutton Henry questions
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TS27 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hutton Henry. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
