Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Sink repair in Irlams o' th' Height, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. 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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our pricing.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Irlams o' th' Height use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them

- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin

Your questions about sink repair in Irlams o' th' Height
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
