About our sink repair in Mansbridge
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and chips from dropped toiletries, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What affects the price in Mansbridge
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Mansbridge. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

Your questions about sink repair in Mansbridge
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you work in Mansbridge?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mansbridge. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
