How we handle sink repair in Jamestown
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with chips on a built-in basin and chips on the rim or front edge, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you work in Jamestown?

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
