About our sink repair in Kelvinhaugh
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs

Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
