Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Sink repair in Larkton, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped vanity basin and chips from dropped toiletries.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Larkton customers choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our prices page.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Larkton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Larkton questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are there extra charges for Larkton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
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. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
