Sink Repair in King's Meaburn
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for homes and businesses in King's Meaburn and across Cumbria. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Sink repair in King's Meaburn without replacing anything
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 basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
