About our sink repair in Kirkbride
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Kirkbride: your questions answered
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Repairing versus replacing in Kirkbride
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
