Sink repair in Little Houghton, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips around the rim.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about sink repair in Little Houghton
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Little Houghton?
We do. Technicians travel to Little Houghton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Signs you need sink repair in Little Houghton
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
