About our sink repair in King's Norton
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. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in King's Norton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

Can tenants book a repair?

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Repair or replace: which is better?

Common problems we fix in King's Norton
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
