Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Sink repair in Littlethorpe, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Littlethorpe
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Littlethorpe: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
