Sink repair in King's Park without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
