Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle sink repair in Larches
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and chips from dropped toiletries, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What else we do in Larches
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Larches use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Questions from Larches
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What affects the price in Larches
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Larches. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
