Sink repair in Innerwick without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and fine cracks across the glaze.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Innerwick. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Your questions about sink repair in Innerwick
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
