Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Sink repair in Little Wigborough without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
In a village like Little Wigborough, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We work around original marks where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours. For a rural address like Little Wigborough, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the sink repair, so there’s no second trip.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
