Sink repair in Laytham without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We are frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped vanity basin, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What affects the price in Laytham
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Laytham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Laytham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
