Sink repair in Kirkburn without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When to call us in Kirkburn
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What affects the price in Kirkburn
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kirkburn. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
