About our sink repair in Knolton
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Most clients in Knolton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace in Knolton?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Knolton
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Knolton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
