About our sink repair in Linthorpe
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Signs you need sink repair in Linthorpe
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What affects the price in Linthorpe
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TS5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
