Sink repair in Little Henny without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Henny as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Little Henny. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
