About our sink repair in Huxter
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips around the rim and chips on a built-in basin.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the basin and check 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 typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Your questions about sink repair in Huxter
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Huxter.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
