How we handle sink repair in Manvers
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. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Manvers
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in Manvers?
We do. We send a technician to Manvers for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Manvers
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Manvers
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Manvers. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
