About our sink repair in Martin Mill
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
